Bet on Black!

In keeping with this month's color theme, I've posted two more heroes of the Golden Age - the card-sharp crime-buster Black Jack, and the high-flying freedom fighter Blackhawk (pictured at left.) These are a pair of my favorite characters, although they do languish in obscurity these days. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do. You can download them both HERE. Enjoy!

Keep your eyes open, as there are lots of fun things coming soon!

The Black Terror Strikes!

This month's first (yes, there will be more) download is a "terrific" diorama designed by our master designer J.P. Cote. This action-packed little number is based on the classic Alex Schomberg cover art for Nedor's Exciting Comics #45 (April 1946), featuring the Terror Twins locked in combat against anonymous villains, which I have dubbed the Robot Master and The Robot (real creative, I know). The pictures of J.P.'s build do not include Kid Terror, as he is not a favorite character of Mr. Cote's and was left out of the original design. To keep the purists happy, I have included the option to put Tim into the picture if so desired. You can download the diorama and figures HERE..

A Marvelous Pair

We've got LOTS of stuff cooking right now, with some big plans for major releases in the next couple of month; so things have been a bit slow on both the blog and the site itself. To keep things moving, albeit a little later than planned, is the new download for July.

First up, from Timely Comics, it's The Challenger - The Master of all Weapons. He comes with three costume variants and a slew of deadly accessories. Next, to make up for the wait, and answer numerous requests, it's another Timely treat turned Marvel icon - Toro! Add this model of the Human Torch's sidekick, and your First Invaders and All-Winners Comics sets are now complete! He's a bit of a cheat, being just a modified/rescaled Torch, but he'll do the trick. 

Download the daring duo HERE and ...keep in touch! 

Where Have We Been?

Hello friends! Looking at the previous post, it's been nearly 6 months since I've spent any time on the website or blog. Yikes! I appreciate the patience of my followers as I navigated the twists and turns of my other life. I do plan to spend more time here in the near future.( I have all sorts of content that needs to be tidied up before it lands here.) 

To kick off what I hope will be a far more prolific second half of the year, I offer a new model - THOR. He's in the Silver Age costume, complete with trusty Mjolnir in hand. I've also unlocked all the other models, and re-released several of the Bat-Villains. Get them all HERE.

Happy! Happy!

G.A.S.P. is kicking off the new year with a couple of new character models. First, there's Timely Comics' answer to the Flash - The Whizzer! (That name may have worked in the 40's, but it takes on much different, and hilarious connotations today!). Then there's one of my favorite DC lesser-knowns, Jack Kirby's Manhunter (at left). There's also a couple of pulp hero holdovers from the Holiday prezzies - Green Hornet & Kato and Dick Tracy! The Arkham Asylum and 40's Batmobile will return in the next several months in improved, non-beta form (there will even be an interior for the Batmobile!), so keep your eyes open! Hope you and yours have a joyous and prosperous New Year! And I hope you'll keep letting G.A.S.P. be a part of it! Cheers!

MERRY! MERRY!

And Now For Something Completely Different...

...A Bit of VEGAS MAGIC!
Taking a short break from the heroes to finish up something I've had in the works for some time now. It's a simple, but very satisfying build. I really love Googie style signage and architecture. Who knows, this may lead to another line of models....

A Hot Pair for a Scorching Summer!

It's been a broiler here in Ol' Sunny Southern Cal, so I've decided to acknowledge that fact by posting a pair of red hot items. First up, The Flame, a Golden Age hero from Fox Publications. This guy predated the Human Torch and had some pretty cool, er hot, superpowers. You'll find him on the main page. Then, as a special treat, scroll to the bottom and click over to the Gallery page where you'll find Alfredo Podesta's reworking of my Human Torch model. His work is really excellent and I hope to be able to post more.
